TPD Specialist: Claimsplus Tips

4 min. readlast update: 02.11.2025

Do I Need a Super Claim Expert?

When filing a Total and Permanent Disability (TPD) claim, you might wonder whether you need a superannuation claim specialist or if you can handle the process independently. While it's possible to manage your own claim, engaging an expert can significantly improve your chances of success and reduce the stress of navigating the claims process.

At Claimsplus Lawyers, we provide the expertise needed to simplify your claim, strengthen your case, and advocate for the benefits you deserve.


How a Super Claim Specialist Can Help

1. Understanding Complex Policy Terms

TPD insurance policies contain detailed conditions, exclusions, and technical jargon that can be challenging to interpret. A claim expert ensures you fully understand:
✔ What your policy covers and whether your condition qualifies.
✔ The criteria insurers use to assess eligibility.
✔ Any additional benefits you may be entitled to claim.

This clarity helps prevent errors that could lead to unnecessary delays or rejections.

2. Guiding You Through the Claims Process

Filing a TPD claim requires:

  • Extensive medical documentation
  • Detailed financial records
  • Strictly completed forms
  • Possible insurer follow-ups and appeals

A superannuation claim specialist knows how to structure your application correctly, ensuring nothing is overlooked and avoiding common pitfalls that can lead to delays.

3. Strengthening Your Medical Evidence

The quality of your medical documentation is often the deciding factor in whether your TPD claim is approved or denied. A claim specialist can:
✔ Ensure your medical reports align with the policy’s criteria.
Work with your doctors to secure the necessary medical evidence.
✔ Present your case in the strongest possible way to the insurer.

Without expert guidance, vital medical details may be missed, potentially leading to rejection.

4. Advocacy in Disputes & Denied Claims

If your claim is denied or delayed, you may find yourself in a frustrating dispute with your insurer. A claim expert can:
Challenge unfair decisions by insurers.
Negotiate on your behalf to secure the best outcome.
✔ Escalate disputes to the Australian Financial Complaints Authority (AFCA) if necessary.

Having a legal professional on your side ensures insurers treat your claim fairly.

5. Maximising Your Claim Entitlement

A specialist can identify and secure all benefits you are eligible for, ensuring you don’t miss out on payments you’re entitled to. They can also advise on tax implications and financial planning options related to your payout.


Do You Need an Expert for Your Super Claim?

While handling your claim independently is possible, having an expert on your side provides:
Higher success rates due to a properly structured claim.
Less stress and frustration with insurer paperwork.
Better financial outcomes by maximising your entitlements.
